Thank goodness this read like the old KA we all know and love. I really liked sweet and dorky, Izzy and hot as hell, Johnny. Although he wasn?t OTT Alpha, he still was alpha, in that sweet kind of way. I adored Izzy and her shabby chic lifestyle and full of life.

There?s no other author more perfectly suited for the holidays than Kristen Ashley. Her books are filled with love, honesty, family, and a soothing approach to romance that makes this reader swoon. The Hookup doesn?t start out as a slow-burning like-to-lust romance. Oh no, friends....

Overall Opinion: This was one that I was worried about because I was worried about the H pining over his ex and hurting the h. Did the ex come back? Yes. Did the H and this OW have a romance that the town dubbed as being "epic"? Yes. BUT I wouldn't say the H was pining for ...

This 2017 has been quite the year for Kristen Ashley and her readers. She has released quite a lot of books and of course, she ended it with a bang! She starts a new series with The Hookup and I already have fallen in love with all these new characters she h...

Let me describe to you my experience while reading this book. I normally do not like books with guys that are emotionally involved with their previous relationships, i.e. when they start a new relationship while they still think of their ex. It is never fair for the new girl. But -alth...

If you enjoyed Complicated, I think you will enjoy this story. IMO it has the same vibe, the same sexy hero and the same independent but happy heroine.
The book starts right off with their hookup, something Eliza, aka Iz or Izzy, has never done before so she's a little ...

I fell asleep reading The Hookup. I was so into it, I couldn't put it down even though my eyes were drooping. I fell asleep in a small town in Kentucky watching two people deal with the aftermath of their hookup and, I swear, Johnny Gamble and Izzy Forrester infiltrated my dreams with ...

I'll be honest I have pretty much given up on KA ever writing a book that comes close to some of her earlier ones. She used to be an automatic buy for me, but now I pretty much pass them by without a second look. That said, a lot of people seemed to like the is one. Said it was "ol...

Giving up after about 50 pages. Seems so fucking juvenile. Same old shite from KA. There was a time where she was an auto buy... but honestly, lately, seems like she is putting out the same old ding dong.

I fell asleep reading The Hookup. I was so into it, I couldn't put it down even though my eyes were drooping. I fell asleep in a small town in Kentucky watching two people deal with the aftermath of their hookup and, I swear, Johnny Gamble and Izzy Forrester infiltrated my dreams with ...

Thank goodness this read like the old KA we all know and love. I really liked sweet and dorky, Izzy and hot as hell, Johnny. Although he wasn?t OTT Alpha, he still was alpha, in that sweet kind of way. I adored Izzy and her shabby chic lifestyle and full of life.

Thank goodness this read like the old KA we all know and love. I really liked sweet and dorky, Izzy and hot as hell, Johnny. Although he wasn?t OTT Alpha, he still was alpha, in that sweet kind of way. I adored Izzy and her shabby chic lifestyle and full of life.

There?s no other author more perfectly suited for the holidays than Kristen Ashley. Her books are filled with love, honesty, family, and a soothing approach to romance that makes this reader swoon. The Hookup doesn?t start out as a slow-burning like-to-lust romance. Oh no, friends....

I enjoyed my first Kristen Ashley read and will definitely check out her older books. The book was mostly light and steamy, had little drama (not as much as the blurb implied), and would be a nice read when you're looking for something that would make you swoon.

The Hook Up is about good girl Izzy, the girl who doesn?t do anything reckless or have one night stands. That is, until she meets Johnny Gamble. Johnny is her first hook up, and an unexpected evening turns into more unexpected nights and days together. Until the love of...

Overall Opinion: This was one that I was worried about because I was worried about the H pining over his ex and hurting the h. Did the ex come back? Yes. Did the H and this OW have a romance that the town dubbed as being "epic"? Yes. BUT I wouldn't say the H was pining for ...

?Tell me, spätzchen, how does a man sleep when he?s living his dreams??
Every time I start a new Kristen Ashely book, I get the warm and fuzzies. The Hookup was a captivating, heartwarming romance. After reading around 50 Kristen Ashely books, I can?t s...

DNF at some point (not sure because I skimmed and skipped more than read)
However, the reasons are VERY subjective so take this review with a grain of salt.

About the author

Kristen Ashley

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!).

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.
